GustoMSC<br />
The Company has reorganized its activities in Schiedam into two execution centres. Operating under the <strong>SBM</strong><br />
<strong>Offshore</strong> brand, <strong>SBM</strong> Schiedam will focus on core FPSO products;; the other, focused on non-core products will<br />
retain the GustoMSC brand name.<br />
GustoMSC will continue to provide proprietary designs under license and engineering support for all types of<br />
mobile units and vessels for the offshore drilling and construction industry, including the supply of associated<br />
specialist equipment. The innovative solutions are focused on all types of jack-up units, semi-submersibles or<br />
mono-hull vessels.<br />
GustoMSC will also supply equipment associated with its proprietary designs, including jacking systems, fixation<br />
systems, X-Y skidding systems and jack-up units for thruster retrieval systems for DP vessels. It will also provide<br />
proprietary designs for large derrick cranes and medium-sized pedestal cranes under license.<br />
3.1.8 Turnkey Services<br />
The Company’s two installation vessels achieved high occupancy rates during the second half of the year and this<br />
trend is set to continue in line with its offshore contracting activities. The Company ordered a new Diving Support<br />
Construction Vessel (DSCV) in April <strong>2011</strong> for delivery in 2013. This investment is in line with its strategy to<br />
expand offshore contracting activities.<br />
The Company’s other turnkey services include: engineering, supply, overhaul and maintenance of CALM buoys,<br />
swivels, mooring systems, fluid transfer systems and offloading systems which are all core or edge FPSO<br />
products of the Company. These services are performing in line with Services business objectives and are<br />
expected to grow in future.<br />
3.1.9 Lease and Operate<br />
Except for the impact of the two MOPU projects, the Company’s Lease and Operate segment is currently<br />
performing extremely well, with high bonuses obtained on individual contracts. During <strong>2011</strong>, the Company’s lease<br />
